Chris Ransick¿s first full length collection of poetry, Never Summer, has been hailed by one critic who described the work as "accessible, haunting, echoing familiar emotions in brilliant language that, quite frankly, is amazing." Another offered the following comments: "These are carefully crafted, hard-hitting, real-life poems. Ransick¿s unerring sense of place and evocative imagery range boldly and broadly from childhood through fatherhood, from the quietude of the garden to the majesty and endlessness of the Western landscape. The reader will not go away hungry."

Montana Spring

A story with the broad scope of Lonesome Dove, MONTANA SPRING tells of the earliest days of the Montana region through the Brewer family, coming west from Virginia in 1856. In the ensuing years young Clay becomes a U.S. Marshal at 17 and at 19 takes a Blackfeet woman from the ill-fated band of Chief Heavy Runner for his wife. In MONTANA SPRING an unforgettable cast of charactes comes to life against the rich backdrop of Montana's history as her pristine paradise and Native peoples give way to the exploitation of trappers and traders, buffalo hunters and emigrants, miners, stockmen and the U.S. Army.

Magniet, Richard

A level-headed look at how we might learn to live in today's world through better understanding the motives and interests of those around us. "I am no saint. Nor am I a devil. This essay in not a polemic against the United States...rather, it speaks to the human condition."

Rodeo is a cornerstone of the Western experience and this book is an invaluable chronicle of one of the veterans of that tradition. The Sheridan-Wyo-Rodeo's span of the better part of the 20th century and continuation into the 21st is documented here by author and Rodeo Board member Tom Ringley with complete details of its conception, birth and its growth into a nationally respected professional event. This is the rich history of the organizers, the participants and spectators and the community which supports this treasure of the West. With its accompanying appendices of the Champions, Queens, Rodeo Boards and Stock Transactions this book offers the true story of the trials and tribulations, the triumphs and successes of a formidable undertaking which began in 1931 and continues today.
